Through our years of experience working with Step 3 students, we know that getting back to the basics of medicine for board purposes can be a challenge. The way medicine is practiced is not always the way questions, that are also written by PhDs, are designed. You need a strategy, which is our Method©, that enables you to answer board questions using reasoning and critical thinking. It puts you in control of the questions and the questions stop controlling you. You will improve your efficiency at mastering USMLE (MD) and COMLEX (DO) style questions.

All our programs’ curriculums are designed by MDs, DOs, PhDs and Medical Education Learning Specialists. Our panel of experts collaborated to build a syllabus of high-yield content taught in a tactile-learning (no lectures) environment for long-term understanding of concepts.  It is this understanding (not memorizing) of content that assists students in the integration and reasoning that is required when answering correctly 300+ questions on exam day.
